Arthur J Gallagher Offices 4/289 Wellington Parade S, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia. View mapanaging conflict and difficult conversations is one of the most stressful parts of any manager’s job. For this reason it is often avoided and the issues swept under the carpet or it is hand-balled up the line for some-one else to deal with it. The Victorian People Matter survey results for 2010 showed that 34 per cent of staff witness bullying and 21 per cent had personally experienced it. This is the outcome of conflict and difficult conversation that were handled poorly, or simply avoided altogether.
Conflict that is dealt with poorly leads to increased experiences of bullying, diminished staff satisfaction, increased staff turnover and the associated recruitment costs, increased absenteeism and stress related WorkCover claims. Just one WorkCover claim relating to poorly handled conflict cost a Victorian hospital over $120k; add to this the daily sick leave leading up to the claim – amounting to an average of $700 per day for 6 months – that is $127,400!
This demonstrates the solid return on investment in developing the attitude, skills and approach used by your people to deal with conflict and difficult conversations.
